Cranks over for a long time then finally starts
There has always been a couple of drops of motor oil on the floor after a long travel (20-30 miles) that I expect is coming from the valley of the motor because I've seen fresh oil in the valley since I bought it (143,000miles By the way) I ran into a no start problem, drained the oil rail and then pulled two injectors out,then put it all back together,without replacing the O rings on the injectors. Now it cranks over for an excessivly long time and then finally starts, and when I shut it off there is more oil than usual on the floor cannot find where it is coming from I suspect the valley of the motor and down the backside. Is the long start because of the oil rail being drained now air in the system, Or the leak of oil from somewhere
on the top of the motor. or the fact that I didn't replace the O rings. I did not take the HPOP apart by the way but did take the top fill plug out to check if oil was in it (approx. 1in from hole found oil in HPOP)What and the heck did I do know

haven't done anything to it but the time it takes to start is getting shorter everytime I start it(down to 2.47 sec from key turn to fire) and the oil drip is down to a couple of drops again still don't know were it is coming from but oil Ithought was in the valley is a mix between oil and diesel fuel. So my thoughts are it was air in the oil system
on the top of the motor. or the fact that I didn't replace the O rings. I did not take the HPOP apart by the way but did take the top fill plug out to check if oil was in it (approx. 1in from hole found oil in HPOP)What and the heck did I do know

Any time you open up the HPO system it will take 50-100 miles of driving before the truck will start like it should. Air in the system takes time to work out.
Correction... Injector O rings... not the injectors!

i was having the same problem with the oil and fuel mix dripping its probably coming from the two little o-rings on the back of the fuel bowl i swore up and down it was oil but took it to a friend because i couldnt figure out where it was coming from and thats what it was. the kit from ford has 2 new orings and the water in fuel drain valve assembly. really easy to replace took me about 15 mins to install, ill get the part numbers if you suspect thats what it is, they say the orings are getting eaten up from the low sulfer fuel and causes a slow leak down into the valley
